Great signing, ready made replacement for Kearney. But would like to see who, from the current squad we're keeping? These lads are playing to stay.

Predictable

If Bulls signed some average guy it would be a great signing to Viking ( rolls eyes )

He must have some quality then. I had never heard of danny peacock, Jeremy donogher, le strange, or Brett Kearney and they all proved to be great for the club. Oh and don't forget Mick withers.

And Graham Bradley was a player who hadnt fulfilled his potential when we signed him and he was the springboard which helped catapult us to greatness. I still maintain he was the best signing we made right at the start of super league. Robbie developed to be a star player and probably learnt a lot from Bradley. Don't forget we had many players at the start of super league that were unknown and Brian Smith produced a master class team. Lets hope jimmy can do the same over the next few years

A fair point. But I had heard of Bradley he had been at Castleford. The penquin was my favourite player at the start of super league. Finding somebody like him would be fantastic.

Mullaney is a good player, quick and agile and runs the ball back at speed. He can also chime into the line well when required. A more than adequate replacement for Kearney. Saw him play for the eels last season on occasion and he played well, bags of potential. Will go well in the championship!!! Pleasantly, but very surprised at this addition as he would do well in SL too given a run of games to adapt.

Just a concern we only signed him on a 12 month deal. Either he'll sign another deal if we get promoted straight off, or he's agreed to give us a year and move to a SL club if we don't go up

I don't see owt wrong with a short contract under the circumstances we are in.

That's the key to it all. Getting the most from the players you have. Unfortunately this season although we have't had the biggest or best squad they have still underperformed massively in almost every game. Had they all played up to their potential I don't think we'd have been in the bottom two.

If Jimmy can bring in some decent assistants There no reason why a smaller cheaper squad can't compete with an under performing SL squad next year
